Ordinary Average Guy Lyrics

Cover art for Ordinary Average Guy lyrics by Joe Walsh

I always thought it was a sequel to Life's Been Good. Both intros start with just drums, both are telling you what his life is like at the moment. Even similar meter on these lines:

My Maserati does 185 I lost my license, now I don't drive

Every Saturday we work in the yard We pick up the dog doo, hope that it's hard

I thought it was brilliant, contrasting his life in different periods. If Joe has ever said anything different I'd be very interested in what he said.
